Determine the value of sink rate of glider which is operating with 4.2° of glide angle and has speed of 120m/s.

A)
8.7ms
B)
8.78m/s
C)
9.8ms
D)
56.5ms

Correct Answer :   8.78m/s

Explanation : Sink rate = speed*sine (glide angle) = 120*sine (4.2°) = 8.78m/s.

If stall speed is 120 knots then, find average velocity at flare.
A)
110.25
B)
125.4
C)
137.5
D)
147.6

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   147.6

Explanation : Average velocity at Flare = 1.23*stall speed = 1.23*120 = 147.6 knots.

Find the approach speed for military aircraft. Considered stall speed is 22unit.
A)
12 ft
B)
20 m
C)
26.4 unit
D)
45 unit

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   26.4 unit

Explanation : For military aircraft, Approach speed = 1.2*stall speed = 1.2*22 = 26.4 unit.

For military aircraft touchdown speed is 100 knots then, approximate value of stall speed.
A)
90.90
B)
100
C)
200
D)
223

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   90.90

Explanation : Stall speed = touchdown speed/1.1 = 100/1.1 = 90.90.
